R WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the an-tenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, espe-cially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will per-form best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm away from the lips and the transceiver is vertical.

R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.

CAUTION: NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other than the BP-227AXD. Such a connection will ruin the trans-ceiver.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and battery pack are securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the trans-ceiver.

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.

vi

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below 20C or above +55C.The basic operations, transmission and reception of the trans-ceiver, are guaranteed within the specified operating tempera-ture range. However, the LCD display may be operate correctly, or show an indication in the case of long hours of operation, or after being placed in extremely cold areas.

DO NOT modify the transceiver. The transceiver warranty does not cover any problems caused by unauthorized modification.

DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods of time.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IP67* requirements for dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once the transceiv-er has been dropped, dust-tight and waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceivers case or the waterproof seal.* Only when the battery pack and jack cover are attached.

D Battery cautionR DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery dam-age may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the sur-face of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fire.

R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with tem-peratures above +60C. High temperature buildup in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life.

R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, seawa-ter, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using. The battery is not waterproof.

R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since internal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an explosion.

R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEVER mod-ify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the bat-tery may rupture, emit smoke or catch fire.

R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.

5 BATTERY CHARGING CautionD Battery caution (Continued)R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blind-ness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.

R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an ab-normal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor.

R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery.

R WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.

CAUTION! Always use the battery within the specified temperature range for the transceiver (20C to +55C) and the battery itself (10C to +60C). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the batterys performance and battery life. Please note that the specified temperature range of the battery may ex-ceed that of the transceiver. In such cases, the transceiver may not work properly because it is out of its operating temperature range.

CAUTION! Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive temperature environment (above +45C) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging.You may use the battery until the remaining capacity is about half, then keep it safely in a cool dry place with the temperature range as below: 20C to +45C (within a month) 20C to +40C (within six months) 20C to +35C (within a year)
